Young designer marks turf with Gemini Drip

Young Namibian fashion designer Filemon Hamukoto is using creativity, sustainability and storytelling to make his mark in the country’s growing fashion industry through his streetwear brand, Gemini Drip.

Hamukoto, a Windhoek-based sustainable streetwear designer, entrepreneur and founder of Gemini Drip, recently completed his Diploma in Fashion Design at the College of the Arts (COTA), a milestone he views as part of his journey towards building a recognised Namibian fashion brand.

For Hamukoto, fashion is not only about creating clothing but about communicating identity, culture and personal expression.

“Fashion is more than clothing to me. It is a way of telling stories, expressing identity and giving people the confidence to be themselves,” he said.
